Dewey Tucker. Heaven Just got “Funkier”
Add to favorites 
Last night I lost a friend and ‘low-end’ comrade, Dewey Tucker.
The talented 24-year old bass player — a member of the Kev Choice Ensemble as well as bassist for The Coup — shared the stage with Chico Debarge, Lauren Hill, Martin Luther and many other musicians.
Tucker was shot multiple times last night on Interstate 80, according CHP He was heading to a rehearsal.
This may be a bit “off topic” but check out some of his vids on youtube. There’s somethign to learn there. What I have learned is that life is short. Be grateful for every moment.
Peace,
B

Cool vid. Sad loss. I’m going to go exp[lore his videos on YT as suggested. 24 yrs. old os waty too young to leave the Earth but I’m glad he left us with something to admire. Peace Dewey.

Thank you Mike. This was a loss for the entire MUSIC community. Dewey was a great talent…super funny and outgoing. ZERO ego although at 24 he’d traveled all over the world doing what he loved.
It’s a senseless loss but I’m glad to have known him for a little while.

: Hmm, the link has gone missing, let me locate it and get back to you
: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right? 
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
: hi, GospelBassMan
: Hello community!!
: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?
: Thank you very much.
